WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Les Ursulines Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2021 begins with hand-harvesting and meticulous sorting of the grapes. The fruit is destemmed but not crushed, and gravity is used to fill the fermentation vats. A 23-day maceration period includes a week of cold maceration at 12°C. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, with occasional punching down of the cap. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in barriques for 16 to 18 months, with a limited use of new oak. Some descriptions mention aging on lees in French oak with a small proportion of gently toasted new oak.
